Re: Can I change the location of my screenshot folder

@LilyMuir  The game doesn't allow you to change where screenshots are stored.  But if you know your way around computers a little bit or can follow instructions, you could create a symbolic link to redirect the screenshots where you want them to go.  This guide is written for moving the entire Sims 4 folder, but it should work equally well for just the Screenshots folder as long as you get the file paths exactly right:

Make a backup copy of your screenshots before doing anything else, that is if you have any you want to preserve.  And keep in mind that if you ever do a factory reset/clean folder test, you'll either need to recreate the symlink or move over the existing one once you have a new Sims 4 user folder in place.
